(2005-06-30) Sabater Secular Blue America

Liza Sabater wrote "Secular Blue America" after the last election. Red Vs Blue, Third Place, Social Capital. Secular Blue America has no system of community building. This is the reason why for secular Home-School-ers it is incredibly difficult to find meeting places. Secular Blue America has so relinquished it's duty as a community that, in places like NYC, without schools and employment places, they'd have nothing to tie them to a community. What Secular Blue America has to offer are compartmentalized, bureaucratized, Reality Based "social despair programs"; also known as targeted Social Service-s. Red America, on the other hand, has churches, tabernacles, temples and congregations. Not just places of worship but "community houses" of love, hope and redemption.
